Open Every Saturday | Rain or Shine | 10 am to 3 pm

Produced by Riverside Avondale Preservation, the Riverside Arts Market is a weekly community market hosted in Historic Riverside on Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., rain or shine.
We are advocates for the small businesses, artists, makers, and farmers of Jacksonville. Our market serves as a vital economic outlet, acting as a community showcase of the arts and a communal gathering for farmers, artists, makers, and customers alike.
At the Riverside Arts Market, enjoy the harvest of the agricultural arts by supporting Florida farmers. Pick up the freshest local produce of the week in Jacksonville! To remain sustainable, farmers depend on your weekly purchases, so come for the freshest produce and stay for the fun. Our community benefits from all of us staying "loyal to local."
Ready to get involved?
RAM would be nothing without the invaluable help of our volunteers! If you're looking to get more involved or interested in what it means to run one of the most successful events in the Southeast every Saturday, sign up today. Volunteers assist in a variety responsibilities such as market setup, water and merchandise sales, site beautification and more.

At the Riverside Arts Market, We're Doing the "Rot" Thing!
In 2021, we set out to make our impact on the community more sustainable. Since then, the RAM Greening Campaign is not a single document or an individual program but a transformative combination that continues to grow through shaping the market as a model for “green” events and the efforts led by RAM Staff, to protect the St. Johns River by proximity.
In partnership with Apple Rabbit Compost, Riverside Arts Market is proud to offer Composting for our Farmers thanks to the support of TerraWise Homes. Founded in 2016, Apple Rabbit Compost is Jacksonville’s leading food scrap composting non-profit organization with years of experience in diverting food waste from landfills and promoting community nourishment. To learn more and how to compost at home, reach out to Apple Rabbit!

The next time your visit RAM, stop by Southern Style to try Melanie’s newest creation - Bread Pudding Snack Bites! They have the same amazing taste but require less eggs 🙌
You can grab half a dozen for $5 or a dozen for $9!

🗣️ Can I pet that dog?!
RAM is dog-friendly, and we love getting to meet your furry friends! Next time you`re out to the market bring them along - they deserve treats too 🐶
We know your companion is the goodest of dogs, but here are just a few quick etiquette tips that you should know:
🦴 Pets should keep away from food items unless it`s a treat for them
🦮 Keep pets on a short leash so they`re secure and not walking freely
💩 Clean up after your pet! If you forget bags or run out, stop by the RAM Information Booth and we`ll provide some
Lastly, RAM is a fun place to be, but keep your fellow marketgoers in mind! Be considerate so everyone can enjoy their Saturday outing 😄
